Snow Week

Well here are the pictures from the WEEK that we were housebound because of the ice and snow! Thank goodness things have thawed out and are back to normal now!

Mary Adams' MMO was cancelled all week so we had to bring out all the stops to keep her entertained. She loves to paint on her new easel!

She definitely did not love putting on all those layers!

She has been crawling all over Ruby lately. Poor Ruby just sits there and takes it!

First day back at morning out and what do you know- it was raining! At least GrandMim bought her a cute raincoat.

Here's a video of Mary Adams cracking up at home the other night...

Christmas and New Year's

Here are the pictures from December and early January. They're actually in reverse order- oops! Mary Adams and Charley are on the hammock in Pinehurst over New Year's. Mary Adams enjoying her dinner in Pinehurst

Ruby and Bess together again! Matt and Mary Adams on New Year's Eve

Here is Mary Adams playing with the drum Aunt Lili got her on Christmas night at my parents' house.

Christmas morning

She bit into a clementine with the peel on!

Santa brought Mary Adams an easel! After Christmas Eve church

This was at home when I caught her tickling her face again in the tree.

Overdue!

I know I'm way behind on posting pictures but we have been super busy since Thanksgiving! Here are pictures of what Mary Adams has been doing lately.

Watching the Christmas parade with her dad on the downtown porch
She was very excited about her "cook" (her word for cookies)

Getting a better view of the parade

After the parade we went to pick out our Christmas tree. Mary Adams thought it was the best thing running around the lot.

This picture is my favorite of the season so far!

She loves being "tickled" by the trees. I've caught her several times at our house brushing her face against the tree so it can get her.

This was back in November. She loves when her dad gets home from work so they can chase Ruby around.

In her turkey outfit my mom made for her.

I don't know what's going on here...

More to come soon- I promise not to wait so long!!

Witch!

Here's another Halloween picture I forgot on the last post. She loved wearing this witch hat!

This Little Piggy

Happy Halloween! Mary Adams, Helen and Mary Martin went as the three little pigs. Here are pictures from October. On our way to the neighborhood Halloween party

Trying to get a picture with the other two piggies

Still trying...

And almost got it! Mary Adams saw a dog and got up to chase it. It was so much easier taking pictures at the Halloween party last year!

Piggy feeding time

Dress rehearsal- we had a playdate with the three little pigs before Halloween. This is Mary Martin, Helen and Mary Adams.

Playing with Helen's toys

We went to a pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago and took a family photo...

Mary Adams loved all of the pumpkins!

Her favorite thing to do was just sit down in the middle of a pile and bang on them like drums.

Mary Adams' inspiration for Halloween

Earlier in the month we headed out west to Denver to visit my sister. My parents were there and on Saturday we went on a hike and picnic by this stream.

Lindsey and I ran the Denver half marathon and were greeted by Mary Adams at the finish.

She loved our medals!

Mary Adams has had so much fun all month long!
